Getting Started

Millions of adults living in the United States struggle with basic literacy skills. At The Literacy Council of St. Petersburg, we believe that literacy is more than just reading and writing: literacy encompasses technological knowledge, life management skills, and workplace etiquette.

Our program provides a full range of instructional services that prepare Adults looking to develop the basic skills necessary to find and keep family-sustaining employment or obtain a secondary school credential.

Some of our classes prepare learners to take and pass each of the four subject areas of the GED® test: Reasoning Through Language Arts Reading and Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Science.

• We prepare students to begin studying for their GED.

• We strive not just to educate, but to empower our students and enrich their lives.

Each and every student receives all the support services they need to succeed – not just in our program, but in life.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide one to one instruction to the educationally disadvantaged community adults by improving their reading, writing, math and computer literacy skills necessary to obtain employment, function on the job, in the family and in society.
